Hello, my subscribers and my commentators.
It's David Hoffman filmmaker, And I'm concerned because this morning I read a report about millennials, and it says that 3/4 of millennials 3/4 of millennials have left the job at some time for a mental illness.
Concerns what I mean, That's really terrible, and it really upset me.
So let me just give you a few facts and my own feeling about it.
Younger people are dealing with mental illness at three times the rate of the general population.
There's a rising depression.
There's arises suicide.
There's a rising drug addiction.
There's a rise in alcoholism among millennials.
What's going on?
Well, I looked at the experts and his with.
The experts say there's a growing problem in today's work force and is what the pros say.
One.
Rising workloads.
It's true.
I can remember a time when most of the people I worked for had secretaries or they didn't have secretaries.
They had travel people who helped them travel, fax people and printer people who helped a print.
So I imagine the workloads are higher and harder in this day and time longer hours.
I don't know about that, but There's a lot of burnout now.
People are just working their butts off.
And when you add the travel time in the traffic time, many people are working more than 12 hours a day.
And, of course you work so that you can live a good life.
And many millennials can't buy a house.
They can afford a house.
So this is what the pros say is one of the reasons or the major reasons for mental problems when you're in the workplace as a millennial.
Others say it's sleeping less that people are sleeping less hours and they used to.
I think it's slightly under seven hours from Millennials is supposed to sleep eight, and some experts blame this on the rise of the cell phone.
And indeed, there is a rise in suicide and other mental problems connected right to the rise of the cell phone.
And these experts say that you're not really connecting with society face to face.
You don't have friends, you see and the difference is people become lonely and they become depressed.
And then some say it's the parents who have raised millennials to kind of not know how tough things are.
I don't know about that.
I raised my kids to know how tough things up.
But I'm a baby boomer.
So for those of you are millennials.
Did your parents not tell you it's gonna be rough out there in the workplace?
It ain't easy.
I don't know if that's true or not, but that's what some of the experts say.
So I asked myself, What do I think is causing this problem for younger people in the workplace, which is really upsetting to me.
I have a slightly different perspective.
The first is this.
At a time when I was young and younger people than me were young, you'll still remember this.
People cared about the companies they worked for.
They worked for 30 years for the same company they will loyal to the company.
And one of the main reasons, if not the main reason, is because the company was loyal to them.
The CEO is you felt working not only to make money but also to support the employees, worked for the company that's completely gone.
I see no loyalty, and I wouldn't have any loving myself.
Given the corporations are now dominated by Wall Street.
They weren't at that time.
Sure, they had to make money.
But one of the primary jobs that I heard from CEOs that I interviewed was I want my employees to do well.
I want him to be okay.
I want them to have good health plans.
I want them to feel secure.
That's my feeling.
That's the reason I feel that things have fractured in the workplace right now.
Yes, it's harder, but it's also disconnected.
Many people don't even feel loyal to the product they make like I'm not proud of my product.
I think that's terrible.
I am very concerned that the work I'm doing here is holds up my qualities.
When I get a criticism, if I think it's a legitimate when I try to correct it because I care, do you care about the work you're doing?
You care about the products you're making, all the things you're making, you care about the company you work for.
If you don't, that's tough and I feel bad.
I thought I would share this because I want younger people who are among my subscribers, about 40 to 45% to know guys like me, people of my generation We don't like that.
We want you to feel mentally healthy, secure.
Buy a house.
It's not good the way things are right now, and I know it.
And it's tough yet The sun is out right now.
If you could see it yet, I love YouTube and I love laughing, and I really appreciate all of you.
So I hope this was interesting.
Thank you very much for being a subscriber.
It's David Hoffman.
You take care.
